Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

Unofficial 3rd. Think they must have missed him crossing the line.

Definitely possible, I got chased by one of the organisers after I finished as they hadn't got my number as I crossed the line.

Well done @fredtc!

Goddamit I really want that in ALL CAPS

I don't know if the women's winner is 'on here' but I believe the builder of her frame is. @Ecunard ?

Womens' field was surprisingly sparse. @Doctor_Cake was 4th I think, geared on 40/32.

That's good to hear though :-)

Womens' field was surprisingly sparse

Most women aren't, in my experience, mental enough to race a hilly course on a single gear.

Aoife Doherty was indeed racing a bike I made, with a zip tie, having raced Hog Hill the day before. Whooooot.

Sadly I was held up trying to meet deadlines to have bikes finished for bespoked :-(

Well done all, sounds like a cracking weekend!

Ha, another forum champion. Congratulations! #winningvicariously

And is that @neilp in second place?

Love the note on #63.

It was. Brutal but so much fun. @Jon. smashed it.

Minus his saddle for the last two laps. Heroic.

Is this @Jon. ?

Well done Jon

That bloke does derailleur doping, so it's really an outrageous slur on Jon. :)

Had such an amazingly fun weekend huge congrats to Jon for just absolutely smashing it

thank you.

I had terrible mechanical issues on saturday so to sort it and race well today was brilliant.

Congratulations to @Jon. absolutely phenomenal end to an amazing season

Proficiat @Jon.!

Massive congrats to @Jon for the win! And big congrats to Aoife for coming first for the women.

I had a really good time, I was racing* for 1h 26min! That's twice as long as normal... tired leggies today.

*riding around the course rather slowly, trying not to get in anyone's way (cept for the guys who were chasing @andyp)

Fist bump.

Awesome weekend, massive congrats to @Jon. for the win and @fredtc for 3rd. I had a great 5 laps battling with Freddie until chaingate put an end to that and spent as much time on the last 2 laps putting the damn thing back on as I did actually riding.
Looking forward to (finally!) finishing the season off at Thundercross this weekend!

looks like a great event! enjoyed the pics. a Dutchie in the top 10 even (Dirk - well done)

I think there are at least two Dutchies in the top ten. The organisers did their best to prevent this by putting the course on a hill.
